¹⁰Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, ¹¹“Phinehas son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, turned away my anger from among the Israelites^g when he was jealous with my jealousy in their midst, and I did not destroy the Israelites^h with my jealousy. ¹²Therefore say, ‘Behold, I am giving to him my covenant of peace, ¹³and it will be for him and his offspringⁱ after him a covenant of an eternal priesthood because he was jealous for his God and made atonement for the Israelites.’ ”^j

¹⁴The name of the man of Israel who was struck with the Midianite woman was Zimri son of Salu, a leader of the family^k of the Simeonites.^l ¹⁵The name of the Midianite woman who was struck was Cozbi daughter of Zur, a leader^m of a tribe of the familyⁿ in Midian.

¹⁶Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, ¹⁷“Attack the Midianites and strike them ¹⁸because they were attacking you with their deception, with which they have deceived you on the matter of Peor and on the matter of Cozbi the daughter of the leader of Midian, their sister who was struck on the day of the plague because of the matter of Peor.”
